Snoop Dogg is bringing the West Coast to the Paris Olympics.
On Sunday, NBC revealed that the multifaceted rapper would be part of its coverage team for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. In this role, Snoop will join NBC Olympics anchor Mike Tirico to provide commentary and regular updates during the Olympic Primetime Show airing on NBC and streaming on Peacock. Snoop won’t be sitting still. NBC plans to have him tour various landmarks in the city and interview athletes and their loved ones about their journeys to the big games.
The announcement follows Snoop’s previous coverage of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with comedian Kevin Hart, which was well-received. President and Executive Producer of NBC Olympic Production, Molly Solomon, and other higher-ups at the network felt that Snoop’s distinct style and insights warranted his position as Special Correspondent for the upcoming games in Paris.
“That performance alone has earned Snoop a job as our Special Correspondent in Paris. We don’t know what the heck is going to happen every day, but we know he will add his unique perspective to our re-imagined Olympic primetime show,” Solomon shared in a statement.
Snoop has already started working at his new job, recording segments featuring a number of Team USA athletes. Among them are gymnast Suni Lee, basketball standout A’ja Wilson, skateboarder Jagger Eaton, and the beach volleyball pair Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes.
The Summer Olympics will kick off on Friday, July 26th, 2024, and go through Sunday, August 11th, 2024.
